Sorry, I pressed Send too quickly.

If you think LilyPond does something wrong, please send the message to 
the bug-lilypond mailing list.

Regarding your attempts to set the space-alist:
- Why not start from the default setting and just replace
  the entries in the list that you want to change?
  The default is
\override Score.BarLine #'space-alist = #'(
			(time-signature . (extra-space . 0.75))
			(custos . (minimum-space . 2.0))
			(clef . (minimum-space . 1.0))
			(key-signature . (extra-space . 1.0))
			(key-cancellation . (extra-space . 1.0))
			(first-note . (fixed-space . 1.3))
			(next-note . (semi-fixed-space . 1.3))
			(right-edge . (extra-space . 0.0)))
  and the entry you want to modify is probably the one for next-note.
  You may want to try minimum-space instead of the default semi-fixed-space.

- What you specify above is the spacing after the bar line. However,  I 
don't know any method to specify the corresponding spacing
  after the last note of a bar, i.e. the spacing before the bar line.

- Maybe what you see is something related to  
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2005-12/msg00027.html
  and  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2005-12/msg00027.html
